1He speaks to the Sun, and it riseth not. The Apostle useth that word about the creation of light, 2 Cor. 4.6. The Lord who commanded light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts: the Greek is, The Lord who spake light out of darkness, which we translate, The Lord who commanded the light out of darkness. The words of God are Laws, and therefore the ten Commandments, that part of the word which carries the name of commands from all the rest, is yet called, The ten words of God. The Greeks call the ten Commandments, the Decalogue, or the ten words; so many words, so many commands. The devil seems to acknowledge this great power of God (only that he might abuse it) in Christ, that his word was a command, If thou be the Son of God (Mat. 4.3.) command that these stones be made bread: The Greek is, If thou be the Son of God speak to these stones that they become bread, or speak these stones into bread: he would take that as a proof of his Divinity, If thou be the Son of God; do this; God can do this, his Word is a command to all creatures, for whatsoever he imposeth upon them, they must submit to it, therefore do thou so likewise, speak to these stones, or command these stones to become bread.
